Let’s start with our Third Place Winner who comes from the state of Florida, Joel House.  Our Second place winner comes from the state of Louisiana, Leon Cuccia.  Leon and Joel will receive Second and Third place award certificates.

There was clearly one person who stood out, making this again a truly international contest.  Agniezka Kubale won first place.  That name should sound familiar because she won last year’s contest in 2022.  The Kubale family come from Poland.  Congratulations Agniezka!  Agniezka will recieve a Norvise - Rotary Fly Tying Vise from our sponsor NOR-VISE, a medal and certificate.
